Traders form a large percentage of the female work force in Nigeria and may spend long hours at work, thereby putting their children at risk of inadequate immunization. The study assessed primary immunization completion rate and the determinants of immunization status among the children of female market traders in Ibadan, South-Western Nigeria. A cross-sectional community-based survey was carried out in Bodija market among female traders who had children aged 12 to 23 months. The subjects were selected by systematic random sampling and data collected with an interviewer administered semistructured questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to estimate the predictors of incomplete immunization for the socio-demographic variables. A total of418 women were interviewed. Ninety two percent worked > or = 6 days a week and 78.5% had their children with them in the market all the time. Full immunization by both card and history was recorded in only 40.7% while 8.4% children had never been immunized. The highest vaccine coverage was seen with BCG (91.4%) while Hepatitis B (1%) had the lowest coverage. DPT1 to DPT3 vaccine drop out rate was 32.1%. All the immunizations were received in health facilities. The immunization coverage rate among children of female traders was low. Routine immunization sites should be made available in the markets.
在尼日利亚，从事贸易的女性占女性劳动力的很大比例，她们可能长时间工作，从而使自己的孩子面临免疫接种不足的风险。该研究评估了尼日利亚西南部伊巴丹市女性市场交易者子女的基础免疫完成率及免疫状况的决定因素。在博迪贾市场对有12至23个月大孩子的女性交易者开展了一项基于社区的横断面调查。通过系统随机抽样选取研究对象，并采用由访谈员管理的半结构化问卷收集数据。运用逻辑回归分析社会人口学变量对未完成免疫接种的预测因素。共访谈了418名女性。92%的女性每周工作6天及以上，78.5%的女性一直将孩子带在市场里。仅40.7%的孩子通过接种证和接种史记录显示完成了全程免疫，而8.4%的孩子从未接种过疫苗。卡介苗的接种覆盖率最高（91.4%），而乙肝疫苗的接种覆盖率最低（1%）。百白破疫苗第1剂至第3剂的接种漏种率为32.1%。所有免疫接种均在医疗机构进行。女性交易者子女的免疫接种覆盖率较低。应在市场中设立常规免疫接种点。
